Benefit from a suite of environmental fate assessments run to recognized global standards
Environmental fate describes the destiny of a chemical or plant protection product (PPP) after it is used and released into the environment. Given the complexity of ecosystems, the possible environment fate of a chemical can be difficult to envisage. Regulatory guidelines outline standard laboratory screening tests and triggers for higher-tier tests, should signals of concern be detected.
You may need environmental fate evidence ranging from simple biodegradation to higher-tier assessments
Environmental fate covers a broad range of assessments across multiple aqueous and terrestrial environments including standing water, sediments and soil. These studies range in complexity and scope from simple laboratory screening studies examining biodegradation in aqueous media to longer duration simulation tests. You need to build an efficient study program that answers critical regulatory questions in a scientifically justifiable way.
